The Forward Trust informs the public about the detection of Xylazine and Bromazolam in the illegal drug market in the UK. The alert aims to raise awareness among drug users and the wider community regarding the emergence of synthetic opioids in the country’s drug supply. It emphasises the importance of utilising drug checking services in various settings to verify substances for synthetic opiates, promoting accelerated data collection for suspected overdoses leading to naloxone treatment or overdose-related deaths, and advocating for increased access to drug treatment and recovery services to offer individuals in addiction cycles a path towards recovery.
